For the first question the answers were very similar, people easily identified the rough detective plot (however we should have made clearer the relationship between the detective and the femme fatal because few people remarked on it or noted it) and many mentioned that "it reminded [them] of a thriller from the 1940's" which was exactly what we were looking to convey so we are very pleased and consider our efforts to make a 40s style thriller a success.
The comments about the key strengths of our thriller mainly consist of compliments about the music, how it fits well with the time and effectively builds tension, Emma Smith said "the music is very atmospheric and effective". Again the set was mentioned numerous times, saying it was well made and realistic as a detectives office.
For the last question there were two answers in particular that were most consistant and that we also as a group agree with, 1) People commented on how the death scene (gun shot) could be made more realistic and if I were to make the thriller all over again I would do exactly that and focus more on sorting out the murder and how realistic and effective it looks for the audience. 2) Many mentioned that they thought the thriller should be put in black and white and this is something that we ourselves are still deciding too, we origionally thought that Film Noirs had to be in black and white however have since learnt otherwise and that many are in fact in colour. We dont like the colours in our thriller at the moment, they look fake and too bright, however we also feel that a black and white filter is too simple and too obvious. We have decided to saturate the film considerably and that a cold blueish filter should be added to make it more eery and look more effective.
Overall I am pleased with the feedback we recieved and have taken into account the comments on the colour of the film and will change this.
